She compared the situation to events at Chernobyl in 1986, when the leaders of the Communist party called the workers to the may day demonstration.
The writer noted that, despite the assurances of Lukashenko that the presence at the ceremony is voluntary, the locals say otherwise.
“the Reality is that people don’t want to go to the parade, but the organizations and factories told how many of their employees have to go, so it’s “voluntary-compulsory” visit. There will be no important guest. It is difficult to understand what Lukashenka,” she said.
